Conklin Dairy Farms Animal Abuse

[motherofmolly]

i am so mad, i said "give up beef" i mean milk since this is a dairy farm

Ok. I watched the video. And everyone of them deserves to have the same thing done to them. We have cows that we raise for beef. And I have a pet cow. Yes, she's my pet. She's a Scottish Highland and we have a male too. We plan on breeding and selling the calves. And, yes it may be for beef, but she gets treats almost daily and I go out and talk to her and feed her everyday. All of our cows have names that they come to. We joke that happy cows dont' come from California they come from our farm. And the vet can back us up. He told us that we were feeding them too much, they shouldn't weight that much! People who do that are sick and really need help. I'm just speechless. Ok, not really, but I'm just rambling. I'm glad that they lost their contract with the cheese makers. I hope they have no need to ever have any animals again. I'll give my cow an extra treat tomorrow just because of this.

I just feel so sick that I have probably consumed alot of their dairy products with them being so close to where I live. I don't know who they supply to. I think all of the idiots who did this need to be locked up for a long time.

OKay.....so everyones disgusted. Who's giving up milk?

I drink almond milk--tastes better than cows' milk, can be used for cooking, etc. Earth Balance is a great butter substitute, for spreading on bread and in cooking (it comes in tubs and sticks).
But cheese is so hard to give up, even knowing how the dairy industry works, and soy yogurt blows. With organic products I think--I certainly HOPE--there is no abuse, so I try to buy organic dairy when I can.
Then again I do eat meat and not the expensive free-range kind either, so I guess you need to just pick your battles in this case.
